2017 Smalls SAL finish and a Little Crocheting

Here is the first cross stitch finish of 2017 and the one I stitched for the 2017 Smalls SAL. This will be finished as a wee pillow for my seasonal dough bowl.

And here are little bears that I've crocheted for my knit/crochet group's charity project, Project Linus. These are pretty quick and are fun to do. We get lots of donated yarn throughout the year and I have a big box of assorted colors...some are just little bits. I try to use everything up by making stripes. They are great little "to go" projects, so I try to keep one or two kitted and ready to pick up at a moment's notice!

These two were made for a friend that is having a baby in June.

We've gotten lots of snow and rain these past couple of weeks since the beginning of the new year. Here is a pic from my laundry room window late in the day of the snow covered mountains with low clouds hovering above them. It's a bit hard to tell where the mountains end and the clouds begin..Our snow down here is about gone. I would have gone out to take it, but too cold!!

About Me

Born in South Carolina, lived in Kentucky for several years during my 20's, then work took us to Oklahoma. Retired and recently relocated to Arizona. I have been married to my best friend for 40 years, have 1 daughter, 1 son-in-law, a beautiful granddaughter, and 1 cat.
I have had needle in hand for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are sitting at my mama's machine while she was sewing, working on my own creation.
